Excellent Performance of Power Stations

The generating Stations of RVUN have acquired a distinctive reputation in the country for their efficient and economic power generation Both Kota Super TPS and Suratgarh Super TPS have earned Golden Shield award from Union Ministry of power for consistently outstanding performance during last four years (i.e. 2000-01,2001-02,2002-03,2003-04). The Golden

Shields were presented by H.E. President of India Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on 24.08.2004.

Details of Power Plants

(A) KOTA SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION (1045 MW)

Kota Thermal Power Station has, from the very beginning, produced outstanding results and has continuously earned cash prizes and shields. Power station has received meritorious productivity awards given by the Ministry of power, Government of India, in the years 1984,1987, 1989, 1991 and continuously thereafter. The 6th unit of Kota Super TPS was commissioned and synchronized with the grid on 30.7.03 and full load was achieved on coal firing in less than 10 Hrs. The project was completed in 24 months which is a national record for this type of generating unit. Energy generated by Kota Thermal power Station during last five years has been as follows: Year Million Plant Load Units factor(%) Generated

To control pollution and ensure atmospheric emission within the prescribed limits of Environment, about 3.5 lacs plants of various species have been planted in KTPS including ash dyke area, out of which around 2.4 lacs have grown into full trees. To maintain greenbelt around the plant in future, 50 thousand plants are being planted every year. Regular monitoring of Stack emission, Ambient Air Quality and Trade Effluent is being carried out.

(B)SURATGARH SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION (1250MW)

The performance of the generating units has been commendable from the very beginning. The 5th unit of Suratgarh Super TPS has been commissioned and synchronized with the grid on 30.6.2003 and full load was achieved on coal firing in less than 12 hours which has been done first time in the country. The unit has been commissioned in 29 months, 4 months ahead of its completion schedule of 33 months. Early commissioning of the unit has resulted in saving of Rs. 100 crores approx.

To control pollution and ensure atmospheric emission within the prescribed limits of Environment, lacs of plants of various species have been planted in STPS, and most of them have grown into full trees. It is proposed to plant many more seedlings during the current year.
(C) RAMGARH GAS THERMAL POWER STATION (110 MW)

One Gas turbine Unit of 35.5 MW Capacity was available at this power station under stage-I. Under stage-II, one Gas Turbine Unit (37.5 MW) was commissioned and synchronized with the grid on 7.8.02. The Steam Turbine Unit (37.5 MW) was also commissioned and synchronized with the grid on 25.4.03 and thus the plant has been made operational in combined cycle mode with a total capacity of 110.5 MW. The details of total energy generated from this power station during last five years are as under:-

(D) Mahi Hydel Power Station(140 MW):

Two power houses are operating under this power station having total installed capacity of 140 MW(2x25 & 2x45 MW). During last three years there had been appreciable decrease in the power generation from this plant due to scanty rains in the region. However, during the year 2003-04 heavy rains were witnessed in the catchment area of river Mahi and 191.63 MU have been generated from this power station. The details of total energy generated from this power station during last five years are as under:Year 1999-00 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 Energy generated(MU) 143.12 36.37 68.59 22.06 191.63

(E)Mini Micro Hydel Power Stations (23.85 MW):

Under Mini Micro Hydel Schemes, 10 power houses are available having total installed capacity of 23.85 MW. Power generation from these MMH plants depends upon the flow of water in the canal. During last few years there was less amount of flow in the canals due to scanty rains which effected generation from the MMH plants and the generation was reduced to extremely low levels. The details of total energy generated from this power station during last five years are as under:Year 1999-00 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 Energy generated(MU) 18.79 12.71 23.58 10.19 11.66

ACCELERATED COMMISSIONING
RVUN created a benchmark in the country when it constructed a 195 MW unit in a period of 24 months at Kota Super TPS. Similarly Unit-II,III,IV and V of 250 MW each at Suratgarh Thermal Power Station and Stage-II of Ramgarh Combined Cycle Gas Thermal power Project of 75 MW were constructed and commissioned in lesser time than the targets scheduled by CEA. These efforts of RVUN have not only reduced the construction period but have also saved a sum of Rs. 520 Crore.

SALE OF POWER AND COST OF GENERATION:

As per financial restructuring plan formulated under power sector reforms, RVUN has to sell its entire generated power to RVPN on no loss no profit basis till 31.3 .2004. Consequent upon introduction of electricity act 2003 in the State, Rajasthan Rajya Uptadan Nigam has been selling its entire generated power directly to three Discoms i.e. Jaipur, Ajmer & Jodhpur in pre-assigned ratio of 36:36:28 respectively on no profit no loss basis and this policy of no profit no loss shall be adopted till March, 2005 as per FRP.

FLY ASH UTILISATION AT RVUNS TPS

Concerted efforts have been made towards encouraging entrepreneurs for utilizing the ash generated at Kota Thermal Power Station and Suratgarh Thermal Power Station. 100% Fly Ash utilization is expected upto March2009 & March2010 respectively.

Ash utilization is Nearly 73.23% of the Fly Ash generated by Kota Thermal Power Station is being utilized for manufacturing of cement and making bricks. This would enable utilization of 100% ash in next few years Similarly ash utilization at Suratgarh TPS is also encouraging, 22.85% utilization of generated Ash have achieved during the year 2003-04.To increase the ash utilization from this plant cement factories and brick manufacturing units are being encouraged. M/s Shree Cement have started lifting ash & two small brick manufacturing units have come up near the plant. It is expected that the ash utilization will gain momentum. Due to situation of this plant at remote desert place, it may take relatively longer time to increase ash utilization. An action plan has been formulated and efforts in this direction are being made.

FLY ASH is FREE

FLY ASH IS AVAILABLE FREE OF COST IN ADEQUATE QUANTITY AT SURATGARH SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION AND KOTA SUPER THERMAL POWER STATION
Fly Ash is useful for making Bricks, Tiles and Blocks etc. It is also useful in making Cement Fly Ash can also be used in Road Construction, Plastering on Buildings, Agriculture, Irregation etc. Interested Builders, Cement Manufactures and other Entrepreneurs may contact the following for Fly Ash, Free-of-Cost
